My understanding is that everything after the question mark is used to specify which application for Oracle Application Express to load. For example, /pls/apex/f?p=103:1 and /pls/apex/f?p=102 would load two completely unrelated applications. Because of this, I need the full URL passed along. In the past, I've used an index.html file to redirect users to the proper URL. Since I'm migrating from an Apache server running as a reverse proxy to a Netscaler appliance, this approach is no longer feasible.

I don't think the problem is with the Netscaler or your escaping; I think that whatever's serving www.example.com doesn't have a page for /pls/apex/f and is quite correctly telling you this. The part after the question mark is called the "query string", and it's (usually) used to communicate parameters to a page - a page which must already exist (except in very specific circumstances), without the query string. What happens if you "curl -v www.example.com"? Do you see the 30[23] redirect coming back? If so, it's a server-side problem and not an issue with the appliance.
